Before Pioneer (the first space probe sent beyond the asteroid belt) was sent to Jupiter and Saturn, many questions were raised as to whether it would get through safely or not. It did, and so has every probe since.
There are thousands of asteroids in the asteroid belt. But while there are so many asteroids, there's also a lot of space. If you were to stand on an asteroid within the belt, you would be unlikely to see another asteroid for your entire life!

That depends a lot on whether you have a Wookie for a pilot!
Seriously, it would depend on the vehicle and the asteroid field, so it's a pretty meaningless question as phrased.

Very good. Asteriods are actully much further apart than you'd think. They aren't all crammed together like they are in the movies. Plus, the asteriod field is more of a belt - you can always go above or below it.

100% Every space craft we have sent through the asteroid belt has made it through unhurt. In fact, you have to navigate carefully to hit one. Missing them is easy.

Really, asteroids are spaced very far apart, you really have to try to hit one.

I guess only Eelfins and myself got the joke?

How far apart are they? How fast are you going? How quickly can you change direction? And how good are your reflexes?
